I thought Karl Popper’s insight’s worth a read/look, but he was and then was not a fan (he dead though)
A few that I can think of: Rockhill, Smith, Enfu, Boer, Manoel, Foster, Cockshott, Shaikh.
We lost Losurdo pretty recently, and he was IMO one of the best of the last few decades.
Damn RIP. I didn’t know Losurdo passed away.
this is a tough one but I’m going to say karl marx
sorry to break the bad news but he’s not alive anymore
That’s what they want you to think !

I’d say Michael Parenti
For real tho Annie McClanahan perhaps? I would have said Joshua Clover although sadly he just passed within the past year or so.
It’s hard to sometimes decipher what scholar is or is not working with Marxism since it’s been so influential to so many academic fields
I know he’s not marxist but perhaps Žižek?
Capitalism’s Court Jester: Slavoj Žižek
This neoliberal prankster is thus the epitome of a radical recuperator. He cultivates and markets the appearance of radicality in order to recuperate potentially radical elements in society, particularly young people and students, within the pro-imperialist anti-communist fold. This is precisely why he is the most famous ‘Marxist’ in the capitalist world, festooned by the likes of a journal linked to the engine of U.S. imperialism. His mantra is nothing but an opportunistic perversion of the closing lines of The Communist Manifesto: “Cultural consumers of the pro-Western world unite—and buy my next book, or movie, or crossover product, or whatever, and so on, and so on!”
zizek is a moron
how so?
idk maybe how he constantly says right wing shit?
Like what?
I just listened to him for five minutes and felt he was wasting my time. I like people who pick a topic and then follow through with it.
